Why Roof Rats Love South Florida Attics

Roof rats have found paradise in Boca Raton's mature landscaping and tile roofs. Here's how to evict them for good.

If you've heard scratching in your attic at night, it's almost certainly roof rats. They're excellent climbers, they love the shade of mature ficus and oak trees, and they enter through gaps as small as a quarter.

Traps alone won't solve the problem. For every rat you catch, three more are on the way in through the same openings. The only real fix is exclusion: sealing every entry point with steel mesh and mortar.

Common entry points in Boca Raton homes include lifted roof tiles, gable vents without screens, gaps where pipes penetrate the roof, and pool cage attachment points.

Our full exclusion program includes inspection, sealing, trapping, sanitation and a 12-month warranty. Most jobs are complete in 1–2 visits.
